We are having a real crack but we will have some very tired boys.

Will be hard to maintain this intensity but i really hope we can.

Huge half coming up for the side. Good first half showing but the players have to commit mentally to backing it up.

Trengove is on thin ice and should be subbed for Sylvia if he doesn't pull his finger out. We need more from him. Much more.

Not sure how to kick goals without the quick give to a loose player from a stoppage. Morton is an outside player, sure. But that doesn't mean he's useless. Far from it.

Just don't think ANY player should be a 100% outside player. Sometimes you have to go in and get it yourself no matter who you are.

Not many, but I've played even fewer. If I can see his problems, surely he should be able to see them too.

say no more

sheesh 10 minute mark we are deep in attack we tackle in the pocket ball spills out of aints hands, drop in the ball, no free, seconds later Morton taken to ground without ball, no free again, just no reward for us with umps, so friggin frustrating. Boys are learning, great stuff. GO DEES

I've actually been pretty happy with Tom Mac. He is getting the AFL game fast track, and fair enough. He will learn heaps playing on Riewoldt. He was a bit at sea in the first quarter but has done well in the second.

I've also been happy with Morton and Davey. Both look like they are enjoying themselves out there. Davey in particular.

I love the way Neeld has set this game up with one on ones all over the ground.

Stuie, you see what you want to see. this team needs diversity. If we had all inside types we would be useless. Morton is not a Lenny Hayes type. As long as he can neurtralise the inside stuff and continue to run, spread and dispose, he will be a very good player. I see Morton developing under Neeld and the other coaches

That is what I was referring to earlier - for basically a first year player given Reiwoldt as a match up he IS doing a fair job.

Layed a ripper tackle on Goddard which I'm sure all the haters missed.

I think that he is showing that he has the physical attributes, just needs to work on his composure.

Reminds me of a kid called Frawley a few years ago.

To be honest, he has adapted well as the game has gone on. If he keeps this up for the rest of the game, he'll have done a great job.

I saw a great tackle on Mcevoy?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
